Middleboxes are ubiquitous in today’s networks and perform a variety of important functions, including IDS, VPN, firewalling, and WAN optimization. These functions differ vastl...
Abstract. In this paper we propose a novel hybrid (GA/PSO) algorithm, Breeding Swarm, combining the strengths of particle swarm optimization with genetic algorithms. The hybrid alg...
Proofs and empirical evidence are presented which show that a subset of algorithms can have identical performance over a subset of functions, even when the subset of functions is ...
Simplified forms of the particle swarm algorithm are very beneficial in contributing to understanding of what makes a PSO swarm function in the way that it does. One of these form...
The evolution strategy is one of the strongest evolutionary algorithms for optimizing real-value vectors. In this paper, we study how to use it for the evolution of prediction wei...
